So the IEBC is now checking and uploading around 45,000 documents for everyone to see.

It’s not easy negotiating the IEBC system to cross-check, but some early work by the Kenyan Human Rights Commission found a number of inconsistencies – just a few votes here and there, which could all add up – but probably not to 1.5 million.

Those with an intricate knowledge of Kenyan constituency voting patterns believe NASA did not win over enough potential swing-voters for victory.

The international observers will report in back-to-back press conferences on Thursday, a final result is still some time away, and this odd limbo rumbles on.

Only when the matatus are back on the streets of Nairobi in their usual chaotic numbers, and people start heading back to work, will the tension be lifted.

Until then Kenya waits: To see what happens in places like Mathare, and how the security forces react, to see what the opposition urges its supporters to do, and to hope that violence can be avoided.
